Apexi P13 turbo kit + hks B series manifold + dsm injectors & more = $1,150

I took everything out of the boxes and oiled up turbo. MINT just like when I got it 7yrs ago. BB turbo still spinning effortlessly & ZERO shaft play.

Max power 260-280whp @ 14-16psi
WG spring set at 5.5psi and max is 14-16psi with stiffer gate spring
AC and PS friendly

IHI AX53B60-P18 ball-bearing turbo (t25 flanged)

I will ALSO include:
- DSM 440cc injectors with resistor box
- HKS B series cast manifold
BNITB manifold long & short stud bolts, washers & nuts...(bought from OG Flamenco_T aka Stan when we first started his business in 03-04 Fast-Turbo.com

* I can include GSR, LS or D16a6 untapped oil pan for extra money.




History:
I bought this in 2003 and from honda-tech member in FL. It had only 3,000 miles and I had the member take it to a well known honda-tech member/tuner to inspect before shipping it to me.

Apexi released this kit for the D series in 2 forms:
a) turbo kit with out FMIC = $3200
b) turbo kit with Apexi Skyline FMIC & extra charge piping $3800

But it was way over priced compared to greddy kits 15G kits that were $2100 (no FMIC) & $2600 with FMIC. The kit is now discontinued. Over the past 7years I've only personally known & talked to 5 people who had this kit, & driven in 2 cars with this kit.


I sold the D manifold and sourced out a rare HKS B series cast manifold
If you think this turbo it too small for B series applications, think again.
Apexi made a B18c turbo kit with different manifold and same turbo in Japan, you can still order the kit online at Nopi & other import parts websites but it's $3,600



It make more power than greddy 15G kit, spools faster than greddy 18G kit but not as expensive.
Peiku made:
210whp & 185tq on stock d16z6 @ 10psi. (had zex cam only)
glagola1 made:
238whp and 226tq on stock LS 10psi
268whp and 247tq on stock LS 14psi
integlspwr2k made:
250whp and 175tq on stock b16a2 at 10psi
On a stock gsr it should make:
230whp & 175tq @ 7psi
265whp & 205tq @ 10psi
280whp & 220tq @ 14psi

turbo magazine review:
http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/01...kit/index.html
(dynapack#)
171whp & 132tq @ 5.5psi on stock D16z6 (FMU & NO FMIC)
187whp & 141tq @ 5.5psi on stock D16z6 (FMU & with Apexi Skyline FMIC kit)


Full boost @ 10psi on D16 is 3900rpms
Full boost @ 10psi on B16 is 4200rpms
Full boost @ 10psi on LS is 2800rpms

I bought it for $1,350 shipped & HKS manifold for $250 shipped
old price was $900 shipped.... new price is $1,200 shipped


The only thing you need for this to work on your EG/EF/EK B or D series is:
1) EMS - crome free
2) I would ditch the inline fuel pump and get $79 walbro 255lph pump because they are not as noisy/annoying & you won't have to mount it in the engine bay like you would the inline pump.
3) sell the hks for $200 and get a Ebay cast Dseries T25 manifold for $100
(better design than greddy or apexi)




4) FMIC, ebay/mishimoto/godspeed/ect will work just fine $80-130 is more than enough for under 300whp



























The rust is very light because my garage has humidity. I can be brush it off very easily. notice the top side got a little rust/ironoxide cause it's made of cast iron lol
but the bottom doesn't since the humidity can't "settle" on it.

Also notice the divided flange compared to Greddy Bseries cast manifold it's just all lumped up together.



















How the Apexi D16 kit is advertised







Apexi GSR kit for sale in Japan
Notice same turbo, down pipe & cast elbow

I rember this kit, it's just funny how scared they were to put real boost into b series. I rember when people were scared of 300whp and needed sleeved motors. They thought it would split the block apart and send peices flying out lol

yes sir.... those where the good old days before people could really learn how to tune will with hondata, crome, neptune, aem, ect...

Currently with just upgraded rods/piston on stock gsr sleeves I wouldn't hesitate to push 450whp all day long at the track. But hey, I consider myself pretty conservative.

If your looking for under 300whp
This kit will provide you the most power "under the curve" than any supercharge kit or turbo (t28, t3, 18G, 16G). The p13 powerband on a B18 is probably closest to a GT28 (not the GT2871RS)
